 Classic Doug Sahm, Get It!Oct 22, 2007
By Paul
This is a great DVD recorded in 1975. On the first two tracks Doug plays the fiddle while Augie plays the guitar. The cover of Papa Ain't Salty is red hot with Sahm doing some serious guitar work. The finale of She's About a Mover is tops. I like this show better than the Sir Douglas Quintet Live From Austin DVD, but for Doug Sahm fans it's hard to beat the Texas Tornados Live From Austin DVD. So I'd put this show in the middle of the three releases. (Is there another artist that has three Austin City Limits releases on DVD?). One thing that I find odd about this particular show is the audience. Some of them seem lost. Clearly they had no idea they'd be viewed through 42 inch flat panel home theater systems in DTS 5.1 channel sound in the year 2007!

Doug Sahm (The Texas Rock Legend) & his Band Perform an Outstanding Show Recorded November 14, 1975!!!!!!!!!May 16, 2009
By Gary Covington
"Southern Rocker"
An early version of the late, great, legendary Texas Rocker Doug Sahm & his band (filmed in 1975). (Please also see him perform in the Sir Douglas Quintet DVD, & with the Texas Tornado's DVD). This is an outstanding performance by Doug & his band in this dvd, just like all the concert dvd's he performs in. This guy was simply amazing, and very, very talented.
In this dvd, the line-up consists of Doug Sahm on vocals, guitar, fiddle;
Augie Meyer (another Texas Rock Legend) on keyboards, & guitar; Martin Steitle on drums; Jack Barber on bass; Steve McDaniels on drums; Harry Hess on steel guitar & guitar; and Bobbie Earl Smith on guitar. This is quite a band, and perform outstandingly.
The songs consists of the following:
1.Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone. (Doug's hometown is San Antonio, Texas).
2.Cotton Eyed Joe (featuring Doug on the fiddle - this is reminiscent of Bob Wills playing Cotton Eyed Joe on fiddle).
3.Rains Came
4.Papa Ain't Salty
5.Stormy Monday
6.At the Crossroads
7.Nuevo Laredo
8.Dynamite Woman
9.Medley:
Crazy Baby
One Night
Sometimes
Wasted Days & Wasted Nights
10.Mendocino
11.She's about a Mover (A Doug Sahm Classic!!!)
This is great Texas Rock, and I highly recommend it, and I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Sir Douglas Quintet DVD, & The Texas Tornado's DVD. These 3 concert dvds contain some of the best Texas Rock & Alternative Country that you'll ever here. Thanks!!!!

Once Again, Austin City Outer LimitsSep 04, 2009
By Alfred Johnson
Most of the following is from a review of a CD, "Doug Sahm and Friends". Except for a list of the song selections the points made there apply here to this DVD as well.
"One of the things that keeps occurring when one is, as I am, tracing in my own eclectic way, some of the roots music of the `American Songbook' is that once familiar names from the distant past keep cropping up in odd ways. Take the artist under review, Doug Sahm, as an example. I knew of his name from 1960's British invasion rock group Sir Douglas Quintet (Go figure, for a Texas boy, but that is the way things went in those helter-skelter days) and, later, from the edges of the Texas-driven "country outlaws" movement of the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, Guy Clark and the like.
However the impetus for this review of Sahm' music is due to a recent interview of Professor Douglas Brinkley (now at Rice University, I believe). Brinkley was talking about the nuts and bolts of his interview of the legendary Bob Dylan for "Rolling Stone" magazine on a National Public Radio talk show. In the course of that interview Professor Brinkley mentioned that the reclusive Dylan missed the companionship of his old time friend, the late Doug Sahm. That set off one alarm. Additionally, Professor Brinkley is well known to this reviewer as a long time friend of the late "Gonzo journalist", Hunter S. Thompson. That combination was enough to get me to this CD.
Like many others, when one is looking for the work of an older artist the best place to start is with some "greatest hits" compilation and that, in effect, is what is being reviewed here. Over the long haul Sahm was associated, broadly, with the Tex-Mex and Texas blues music that came roaring out of his state over the past few decades, particularly out of Austin. That sound, and the seemingly obligatory nod to the free-wheeling 1960's hard rock styles, dominates this well-produced album originally issued by well-regarded Atlantic Records in 1973. There is a virtual who's who of Tex-Mex and Texas blues musicians backing Sahm up (and the great New Orleans bluesman, Dr. John). Plus, as a bonus, Dylan doing his "Wallflower" with Sahm. Additionally, there is a nice booklet of liner notes showing the cast of characters on this CD in sunnier times. After listening to this CD one can now understand why Dylan missed his old friend".
And off of this DVD you can understand why Dylan would have been attracted to Sahm's gravelly-voiced, rough-hewed song style as seen in the "Mendocino" and "She's A Mover" set. Also a nice version of "Stormy Monday", a song that fits his style very well. Here is the kicker though. A lot of times when I am 'watching' music DVDs I am on the computer, or something. I was doing the same here when all of a sudden Doug started doing a version of Elvis Presley's "One Night With You". I jumped up to watch that. Wow. Yes, indeed, I can very definitely understand Dylan's sense of loss.

Thanks for the memoriesApr 08, 2008
By R. Seale
"Russ"
I was there at the KLRU studio so many years ago for this show, when Doug and the boys were in their prime. Great show and great memories. This DVD shows the true versatility of Doug, from blues, country, and rock to a touch of Tex-Mex. The digital sound is excellent too. When I see myself back there on the riser groovin', I wonder where the years have gone.
A must for true Sir Doug fans.
